MAKING REPORTS FROM ASP-APPLICATION WITH IE5 BROWSER 

We have created application with ASP pages and SQL-databases. We want to

make it possible that users can print-out the data, in a professional

looking report, and only useing the browser (IE5) . The only possibility we

have now is to make a print-out from the browser-print-button. With this

button we have no control over page-layout etc...

My question is, do you know what technology I have to use and where can I

find information about it.

variety of choices, the more complicated (expensive ones) first:



- buy a commercial report product (i.e. Crystal) you get Java applets for

them which display the report in the browser and you keep initial design

over which you have full control.



- format all in plain HTML, try to keep track while building the page and

via style's insert page breaks etc.



- If the report has not too much variable data, if embarked on building it

in word, saving it as *.rtf and then changing the rtf code at run-time,

which get's pushed back to the client with a response.type setting to word.

This way the report pop's up in word (which I can rely on people to have

luckily) and they print from there. Unbeatable in cost and design quality -

not too easy to build.
